Best Virtual Classes to Try This Month

Whether you’re looking for fun things to do at home or wondering what to do this weekend at home, step out of your comfort zone and experience some of the best virtual classes to try this month. 

We’re all used to seeing new things on the daily, whether it’s through seeing different people or going to different places, however, it can be hard to keep the brain stimulated if you’re now spending a lot of time at home. Whether you’re looking for things to do in quarantine, or things to do indoors when it’s raining outside, check out some online classes which have started to take off in a big way in 2024. 

Think about it, the reasons to try a virtual class means you won’t have to spend time getting ready or spend time stuck in traffic trying to get to the workshop. And, you can stay indoors when it’s really wet and cold outside too, it’s basically a win all round. 

To keep your brain active and spend quality time doing things you love is so important for your mental health. Hopefully, we can inspire you with some of our excellent online classes to try this month. 

Take a popular online terrarium making class

Are you terrible at looking after plants but love the idea of creating your very own jungle at home? It can be done! Whilst it sounds nice having loads of plants at home, knowing when to water them and how much sunlight each one needs can be a bit of a process to understand. Enter terrariums. They are so popular because they are really easy to look after and only require watering once or twice a month because of their greenhouse-esque structures. It's no wonder our online terrarium classes are so popular!

Plants can really bring a home to life by increasing oxygen levels and feeling like you have life all around you, ultimately making you feel happier and helping you get more quality sleep. You can make a start on bringing more plants into your home by jumping onto an online terrarium making class. If you’ve ever wondered how to make a terrarium, it looks harder than it really is. You just need a bit of guidance from a local terrarium expert who will show you how to create the best terrariums at home. 

We’ll send you one of our terrarium kits so you’ve got all of the tools and materials you need to do a class, just like you would have if you attended it in person. When you receive your DIY terrarium kit, you’ll be able to log onto Zoom to be greeted by the local British terrarium expert who will guide you into creating your very own DIY terrarium. Think about all of the terrariums you can make for future gifts for family and friends!

Learn how to make pottery at home

If you’re looking to take up a new hobby or just try something different, we recommend trying a hugely popular online pottery class. Pottery has become so trendy over the last few years because people want to fill their homes with sentimental things they have made, which reduces buying into consumerism. There are endless things you can make with pottery, from learning how to make cups, vases, bowls and so much more, you could literally transform your entire kitchen with homemade pottery. 

The calming nature of pottery is also like a form of meditation in itself. If you lead a stressful life, making pottery can really help you unwind and detach yourself from daily stresses. It’s also really important to do things which make you happy and to take time to look after your mental health.

If you’re wondering how a virtual pottery class works, we’ll send you a DIY pottery kit from our local British pottery experts so you can get read before the class starts. You’ll then just need to log on via Zoom and it will feel like the teacher is right there in your living room to answer all of your questions and help guide you in learning a whole new skill. 

Once you've built up your skills at home, why not step out and enjoy a class at a local pottery studio. Or try out a new hobby with our gift experiences for her in London.
